Facial Hair Transplant

Overview of Facial Hair Transplant

Facial hair transplantation is the process under which facial hair growth is restored. This procedure is commonly applicable to men, who had started loosing hairs on the goatee and moustache areas. At the same time, it can be performed on other areas such as beards and cheeks. A major purpose of facial hair transplantation is to conceal acne scars or other types of scars. Facial hair transplantation is a part of cosmetic surgery, and can be required for a number of reasons. Loss of hair on the facial part happens due to several factors like genetics, laser hair removal, electrolysis, surgery, burns or injury. Objectives for this procedure can vary from a minor filling in or thin coverage of a limited area, to the full restoration of a thick, full goatee or beard. The procedure can be easily performed on bald areas of the face. It can also be performed where there is no hair or on areas where hair growth is thin and more fullness is desired.

Types of Facial Hair Transplant Procedure

Beard Hair Transplant

Beard hair transplant takes place for men, who have lesser hair growth on the facial part. The procedure although common is a bit complicated as far as the technological intervention is concerned. For male personalities this is peanuts when compared to the personality enhancement that comes from a full and lustrous beard. For anyone on a budget, however, this price tag is outrageous. Just like a haircut, you're better off bringing a photograph, this can actually help the technician to get an idea on what you are looking for. In this case, your new beard is made from hair that comes from the back of your scalp. This hair most closely resembles the hair grown around the chin. Or rather, the hair you wish grew around the chin. This is the most important point as natural growth needs to be induced for a successful beard transplantation process. Beard transplant takes some time, therefore one might require to take a leave from office if required.

Moustache Hair Transplant

Similar to the beard transplantation process, moustache transplantation is common for men, who look for a manly appearance. Under common practices, hair is transplanted from scalp or other areas of the body depending on the thickness, density and kind of outlook desired. The most common technology, FUE technique is used to initiate hair transplantation in the moustache. The grafts are extracted from the donor site - back of the scalp. After this, these extracted grafts are transplanted on the patchy bald portions of the beard or moustache. It is not understood to be a very painful process. When successfully done, the process can yield desired results.

Eyebrow/Eyelash

This is again a complicated procedure as eyebrow / eyelash hairs are a little different. However, a similar process like beard transplantation can be undertaken. Donor areas from the scalp can be chosen based on the thickness or the kind of density one is looking for.
